For the Volcano.

On Saturday, the 22d, after the arrival of
the kinau with news that there was an erupt-
ion on Mauna Loa, every one who could spare
the time determined to visit the flow. The
news at that time was rather meager, but not
withstandinG the steamer kinau which sailed
on her volcano trip on Monday, had all the
passengers she could conveniently carry. The
arrival of the steamer w. q. Hall, on Tues
day, brought later news of an extensive flow
Just west of the old 1865 flow in kau, passing
close to the ranch of G. w. C. Jones, and run
ming into the sea, accompanied by severe and
almost continuous earthquake shocks. On the
receipt of this last information, the Wilder
and Inter-Islaud Steamship Companies, i'm
mediately organized excursion trips to the
scene of the flow. The first excursion went

large list for the same destination. Shortly
after it was known that this fine vessel would
make an excursion trip around Hawai-, STOP
ping a night and day opposite the flow, APP

willing to put up with mattrass on the deck.
